	The office of Governor-General is a direct descendant of previous Vice-Regal appointments in Ibagli. When Ibagli was colonized by the British, the monarch was represented by the Governor of New South Wales, who in turn appointed a Lieutenant Governor to act as his representative in Ibagli. The situation remained in place until the federation of Australia, when control of Ibagli was passed to New Zealand.

	The [[Governor-General]] is the representative of the [[Monarchy in Ibagli\|Monarch of Ibagli]], and may exercise most powers vested in the Crown. Though the Queen retains all of her powers and the Royal Prerogative, she rarely intervenes in Ibaglian politics.

Although the Monarch of Ibagli is shared with the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth Realms, neither the British Government nor any other government save the Ibaglian government can advise the Monarch of Ibagli or the Governor-General on Ibaglian matters.
