These positions, often called "Commissioners" are ad hoc appointments, usually for a limited and specific purpose. These roles are made and filled solely at the discretion of the Grand Duke, and are not subject to direct oversight from the Prime Minister. While these are members of the [[Royal Council]], they are distinct from ministries, as they report directly to the Grand Duke and often have a much smaller scope and area of responsibility. There are currently five such positions.

These positions are also unique in that they may also have limited oversight from a minister with whom the responsibilities overlap or align. Two such examples are the Commissioner of the [[Civilian Corps]], and the Captain of the [[Westarctican Royal Guards|Royal Guards]]. The Civilian Corps currently falls in line with the citizen's affairs side of the Ministry of Citizenship & Immigration. As both roles are currently filled by the same person, this distinction is essentially meaningless. The Captain of the Royal Guards also falls under the purview of the Minister of Defense. Since that position is primarily honorary, the role falls directly under the Grand Duke, in practice.
