Háteší Jiböl

Háteší Jiböl (14 December 1899 - 11 July 1972) was the first and longest serving Head Chairman of the Socialistic Council of the Second Socialist Republic of Soigá. In absolute terms, he had the longest ruling period in the twentieth century of any Soigan head of state, being the Head Chairman for 29 years. Under his term, he rapidly transformed Soigá into a modern society. Although Soigá isolated in world politics, Jiböl is often praised by many Soigan people, especially people who want the Communist republic back, as a great leader.

Early life and education
Jiböl was born 14th of December, 1899, in the heart of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Vienna. The only child of Fertos Jiböl (1855-1919), a Soigan diplomatic delegate for the Kingdom of Soigá to Austria-Hungary, and Zsófia Nagy (1867-1956), a Hungarian secretary, Jiböl grew up speaking four languages: Olfkin, German, Hungarian and French. His Austrian birth certificate state his first name as "Hádesí", although this was later changed to "Háteší" to meet with Olfkin spelling rules. Some mistakenly think the name is a reference to the Greek God of Death, Hades, but Háteší and all its variants have been boy names for Soigan children for centuries. Jiböl's second and third name are references to his maternal grandfathers (Markus and August).

His father met his mother in 1896 at a high class ball room party. In 1906, the family were moved to France to pursue the diplomatic ties there. When Jiböl turned 12 years old in 1911, his father sent him to a renowned boarding school in Soigá. In school, Jiböl excelled in math, language and literature. When he turned 18 years, he was drafted for World War I, as the Kingdom of Soigá. Knewing this would happen, Jiböl had made his exams (which would happen in May 1918) way earlier, so he wouldn't have to do the whole year over after his draft. He passed his exams. At the front, he fought in the Second Battle of the Somme and in the Third Battle of the Aisne. In the latter, he was severely injured by a grenade shell which hit his left upper leg. If he wouldn't have been bandaged so quickly by American troops who where near his position, he likely wouldn't have survived.

He was sent to a military hospital in France. There, he met Jacques Duval, who had also been wounded, and both discussed politics and economics. Jiböl claimed he was apolitical before, but that he changed his mind after discussing politics with Duval. Duval was a self proclaimed Communist, who wanted to flee to Russia to fight in the Revolution there. Jiböl, after Duval was healed and got send back to the front, "thought a lot" about the Communistic ideals. He already despised the Soigan king for plunging Soigá unnecessarily into World War I and being reckless with hundreds of thousands young people's lifes. Historians note a radical change in Jiböl's political stand: he became a fierce pacifist and saw Communism as the only way to achieve world peace. Jiböl escaped the hospital in one night, as he feared he could be deemed "healed" at any moment by the doctors, which would mean Jiböl would be sent back to the front.
