Ivas VI of Talland was King of Talland from 1859 until his death in 1901. Throughout the same period, he also held the position of President of the Biggonian Confederation. Ivas VI was the last Biggonian monarch to rule before the Biggonian Empire, and although he was not the final President of the Confederation, his son Charles V's adoption of the title was a mere formality as he shortly thereafter coronated himself as Emperor of Biggonia. During his tenure as President, Ivas VI transformed Biggonia onto the path of becoming a great power, as he successfully unified the disparate kingdoms into the Biggonian Confederation and created an adminastrative structure which outlasted the Biggonian Confederation, forming the basis of the Biggonian Empire's own structure. His legacy today is highly celebrated but also controversial, as he refused to consider creating any public input on the Biggonian Confederation's structure, which would bleed into the Biggonian Empire's structure with devastating effect. Although not a reactionary or arch-conservative, Ivas VI today is considered as a King who had little care for what he considered to be details like press freedom and elections, instead looking at grand designs such as Biggonian unification, economic growth, and reassertion of the colonial empire.
