Governor-General

A Governor-General, is a vice-regal person of the King in an Autonomous Subject of the Realm or a major colonial territory.

They notionally hold the prerogative powers of the monarch, and also hold the executive power of the country to which they are assigned.

The Governor General is also the head of the armed forces in his or her territory and, because of the Governor General's control of the military, the post is as much a military appointment as a civil one.
