	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Governor General
		Governor-General (or Governor General) is a term used both historically and currently to designate the appointed representative of a head of state or their government for a particular territory, historically in a colonial context, but no longer necessarily in that form.
		The Governor General became the direct representative of the country's Sovereign only, and relations with the United Kingdom were placed in the hands of a British high commissioner in each country.
		From 1644 to 1911, in Qing China, a Governor General (总督) is a title given to the governor of joint military and civil affairs in one or several provinces, this is often times translated in English as Viceroy.

		Considerations of age aside, the new governor-general of Antigua and Barbuda, seems eminently qualified for the job.
		However, that such an appointment was made even though the country is sharply divided about her political suitability, exposes the office of the head of state to ongoing political and civil ridicule.
