The Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Alkland is the crown viceregal representative of the Hethish monarchy in Hetheland, currently King Alexander I.

The term of the governor-general is not constitutionally fixed and as per the constitution, the governor-general serves at the behest of the Hethish monarch and thus will only relinquish his/her position on the direct commands of the Hethish monarch. However, it is customary for governor-generals to serve a term of 6 + 1 year. Six years in henceforth dedicated towards the functions and responsibilities as governor-general and viceregal representative of the crown and one year dedicated towards preparing his/her replacement. 
At the end of each term of the Governor-General, the Hethish Monarch visits Alkland to personally appoint a new governor-general before the Parliament. Prior to appointing a new governor-general, the King will ask the former Governor-General whether he sees fit that the nominee for governor-general of Alkland is thus fit for the position, it is the function of the outgoing governor-general to say either "Yes" or "No". In the event that "No" is said, the monarch will, on the advise of the Privy Council, appoint a member of the privy council as the viceregal representative and governor-general.
