A comedy series about a fallen diplomatic Foreign Affairs high-flier who ends up baby-sitting the morally bankrupt (but for a good cause) staff of the embassy of The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe'ausi, the smallest country in the South Pacific ocean. His attempts to teach them right from wrong are more than countered by their attempts to get him to remove the stick from his butt and see the world in a more 'relaxed' fashion. (13 x 30min)
