For the archives: I imagine that the state governors and 
Governor-General in Australia are technically viceroys as well.  I 
cannot say I have heard them referred to as such, but the adjective 
viceregal is commonly applied to them.

These are unelected figureheads with no legislative function who carry 
out ceremonial and head-of-state functions (with certain aberrations).
