In discussion it has been used for describing the person who holds the highest rank among the officers of government.

State Roads in the Florida Keys
Since the opening of the Overseas Highway in 1938, the set of State Roads in Florida, USA, serving the Florida Keys has been a small one. Currently only two such roads designated by Florida Department of Transportation are located on the string of islands in Monroe County, Florida, and only eight other State Roads have been designated, but have since been reverted to Monroe County maintenance (at least two of the former State Roads still have the old SR signs on the edge of their shoulders and it is likely that one of them was never signed). State Road A1A: South Roosevelt Boulevard from Bertha Street to the Overseas Highway (US 1) in Key West is the southernmost of seven discontiguous segments of SR A1A in Florida (in fact, it is the southernmost state-designated highway of the contiguous United States).
