'''Moloka''', officially the '''Moloka Accommodation Facility''' is a small company town in Naifen county, [[Cao]]. Founded in 2001 by the [[National Dairy Corporation (Daxia)|National Dairy Corporation]]'s powdered milk division, Moloka is populated exclusively by the employees of the nearby industrial plant and named after its flagship product of ''Moloko'' powdered milk. Moloka was incorporated as a municipality in 2005. Most of the workers are ethnic [[Rusana|Rusani]] Muslims brought over from [[Rusana]] to work exclusively in Moloko production. The towns ethnic composition and the importance of powdered milk to the island's economy means that strict rules on religious displays have been notably relaxed in Moloka. | '''Moloka''', officially the '''Moloka Accommodation Facility''' is a small company town in Naifen county, [[Cao]].
