That's the first time I see a product stated this way as well lol, probably to add a hint of sophistication. 😉

Hi Kayla, in case you're still wondering, PRC is People's Republic of China. 😊

Snake referenced Miklagard this episode. Miklagard means "The Great City" and it's what Norse referred to as Constantinople(part of Turkey now as Istanbul) as lots of Vikings found work in the Byzantine Empire as part of the Varangarian Guard. "The Varangian Guard (Greek: Τάγμα τῶν Βαράγγων, Tágma tōn Varángōn) was an elite unit of the Byzantine Army from the tenth to the fourteenth century who served as personal bodyguards to the Byzantine emperors. The Varangian Guard was known for being primarily composed of recruits from northern Europe, including mainly Norsemen from Scandinavia but also Anglo-Saxons from England. The recruitment of distant foreigners from outside Byzantium to serve as the emperor's personal guard was pursued as a deliberate policy, as they lacked local political loyalties and could be counted upon to suppress revolts by disloyal Byzantine factions."

Hopefully this wouldn't count as a spoiler (if it is plz feel free to delete this) but in the nxt few episodes there's some good talking points which can be used with the dilemma of the power struggle in Gardar & Arnheids village, I'm sure yall will enjoy it, all the best.
