	Governors Of The Australian States
		The Governors of the Australian states are the representatives in the six states of Australia of Australia's head of state, Queen Elizabeth II.
		From the 1960s onward the Governors were appointed by the Crown effectively on the advice of the state Premiers, but it wasn't until 1986 with the passage of the Australia Acts through the State, Australian and British parliaments, that Governors became appointed by the Queen of Australia on the direct advice of the relevant Premier.
		Most of the early colonial Governors were military or naval officers, and once the Governor's role moved from the executive to the ceremonial, most Governors were drawn from the ranks of retired officers.

	Mexico's Colonial Government, Successful Failure- BY SHEP LENCHEK - IN MEXICO CONNECT
		Today, the visible remains of Mexico's Colonial era are the ornate churches and palacios, either government office buildings or the homes of Colonial officials, still surviving, in the center of Mexico's larger cities.
		Governors of Mexican States routinely ignore or modify federal directives and presidentes (mayors) of cities do the same with edicts from both state capitals and Mexico, D.F. Even the Mexican bureaucracy at times ignores the letter of the law.
		Blaming this entirely on the Colonial Government is an over-simplification, but there is little doubt that many of the practices of the 300 years that it controlled the Colony, either knowingly or sub-consciously, still make up part of the Mexican Mystique.

	The Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates
		Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan.
		The existing colonial price indices based upon the prices of a few commodities bought or sold in foreign commerce are in no way indicative of the general price level.10 The colonial prices of such commodities depend predominantly upon the conditions of supply and demand in foreign markets and on the rate of exchange.
		In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain.
