In Australia, while we do have state Governors as well as a national one, none of the positions are elected, and none of them have the ability to exercise direct power on their own in the same way as US ones do. They are 'executive heads of state for ceremonial purposes' positions. The real control comes from the State Premiers & Prime Minister.
