Background: Born in Sint Maarten in 1965, Maikel De Cloet spent most of his youth like any other child, learning and exploring the island before being sent off to an American boarding school at his parents request. His time in the United States during the height of the Vietnam War instilled in him a strong attachment to the counterculture movement that formed in its wake, making him very sympathetic to socialist values and ideals. Fortunately for him, most of his peers were of a similar mind, allowing him to develop his own unique thoughts on socialism in the presence of a capitalist democracy that had dominated the West. When he finally left boarding school an adult, he quickly got involved in politics, eventually going to Harvard Law School back in the States before getting involved briefly in Massachusetts politics. After completing his education and leaving the United States, he returned home to Sint Maarten to practice law when he heard of the impending independence in Saint Hilda, which gave him a rather difficult choice, remain in Sint Maarten and continue to practice law, or help shape the politics of this newly independent nation. Deciding on the latter, he left his home with his wife Jette and daughter Martina for Saint Hilda. After settling in and gaining citizenship, De Cloet was quick to become involved in the politics of Ulrika and by 2015, was elected as MP, where he continues to serve with the Republic Party to this day.
