In my mind, the government's job is to ensure that dharma or the right order of the world is maintained in the state. This right order of the world is essentially making a moral society and ensuring outcomes that are in line with morality.

This is a beautiful way to express it, but in the original context of your terminology there is an entire Brahmin caste dedicated to unpicking what this dharma is. For the other castes, such spiritual and/or philosophical considerations aren't really relevant, but that's because the Brahmins take care of this important duty.

I can't accept your ideas about morality, but I will discuss that in the other thread.
