The Dominion of Pakistan was an entity that was established as a result of partition from India as a homeland for the Muslims in August 1947.

The British monarch was represented by the Governor-General of Pakistan, who was uniquely not a ceremonial figure. The Governor-General of Pakistan had very strong executive powers. The first Governor-General of Pakistan was Mohammed Ali Jinnah.

The Dominion of Pakistan consisted of two regions: the Province of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and the Province of West Pakistan. East Pakistan had its own Governor, who was appointed by the Governor-General of Pakistan.
