Swedish term or phrase: statliga värdegrunden
I am looking for a natural sounding term (i.e. not "the state values") to express statliga värdegrunden

See e.g. Den gemensamma värdegrunden för de statsanställda (http://www.regeringen.se/informationsmaterial/2013/10/s2013....

I am thinking of something along the lines of "ethical foundation" - i.e. the "ethical foundations of the national government and its institutions."
