Nice. That is the closest I think we can get. It's what makes objective morality wielding theists recoil in horror, at the idea that humans could "decide" morality.
In the case of a dictatorship, you could have "imposed morality", but laws are not morals. So the actual morality of the people may be very different. Same with someone in a cult against their will, although in both cases here people may simply be brainwashed.
