Lobster Dance Incident

The Lobster Dance Incident is a famous scandal in the history of Minyeshi, in which that nation`s entire government was eaten by lions, trigering a period of inactivity.

Events
Following Great War III, Minyeshi`s government, under then Prime Minister Yawambe XIII, sought to boost the country`s economy via tourism. Impressed by an advertising slogan used in Old Earth`s Kenya - "Come to Kenya, we`ve got Lions!", and impressed by how close their island nation was to Kenya, the government decided to import a small population of Lions and adapt a new motto - "Come to Minyeshi, we`ve got Lions!"

The Lions were slated to be released from their stages at a spectacular ceremony, attended by all of Minyeshi`s government and journalistic staff. Before releasing the lions, Prime Minister gave a long speech proclaiming the glory of Minyeshi, the strength of his political platform, and the sexual purity of his supposedly virgin daughters. Probably very hungry after being kept in cages for a long trip and an equally long speech, the freed lions then mauled Yawambe and devoured the spectators - effectively decapitating Minyeshi`s political establishment.

Following events are somewhat hazy, but it appears that most of the Lions were hunted down by the Minyeshi military, and then eaten at a large barbecue along with much tequilla flavored ice cream. For reasons unclear to modern science, the populace remained hung over for days.

Aftermath
After recovering for its drunken stupor, a monarchy restored under Queen Yawambe XIV. Shortly thereafter, Minyeshi disappeared from Planet Bob for unknown reasons. Small numbers of lions continue to inhabit the hinterlands of Minyeshi.
