Governor General of Shmakalaka

For a list, see List of governors-general of Shmakalaka.
The Governor General of Shmakalaka (Portuguese: Governador Geral de Shmakalaka) is the federal viceregal representative of the Canadian monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. The person of the sovereign is shared equally both with the 16 other Commonwealth realms and the 6 States and 4 Territories of Shmakalaka, but resides predominantly in her oldest and most populous realm, the United Kingdom. The Queen, on the advice of her Shmakalakan prime minister, appoints a governor general to carry out most of her constitutional and ceremonial duties. The commission is for an unfixed period of time—known as serving at Her Majesty's pleasure—though five years is the normal convention. Beginning in 1909, it has also been traditional to rotate between anglophone and lusophone officeholders—although many recent governors general have been bilingual. Once in office, the governor general maintains direct contact with the Queen, wherever she may be at the time.
The office began in the late 17th century with the Crown-appointed governors of the British colonies of Porto Azul, Hamilton and Soresta. The present incarnation of the office emerged with United Territories and the passing of the Shmakalakan United Territories Act, 1893, in Westminster, which defines the role of the governor general as "carrying on the Federal Government of Shmakalaka on behalf and in the Name of the Queen, by whatever Title he is designated". Although the post initially still represented the government of the United Kingdom (that is, the monarch in her British council), the office was gradually Shmakalakanized until, with the passage of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and the establishment of a separate and uniquely Shmakalakan monarchy, the governor general become the direct personal representative of the independently and uniquely Shmakalakan sovereign, the monarch in his Shmakalakan council.
In 1901 the Governor General of the Costa Dourado's and the Governor General of the Confederation of Shmakalakas were merged into the present office, the Monarchs powers into the State's are exercised by the Governor General through the Shmakalakan Council.
