Perhaps you are more familiar with the term Gaul. Gallic is just the adjective form. (hope I used the correct English description.) Pertaining to Gaul.

Not used to the PRC acronym, i thought it was about North Korea (People's Republic of Corea, since it's spelled with a C in French)... which was way more tough.
