No Viacom (Irish and British Alliance)

No Viacom is an alternate history originally written by the AltHistory Wiki user ViacomisHorrible94 for the wiki. In this alternate history, Viacom never gets to exist at all and so lots of things within the world change.

POD
CBS does not accept Viacom's attempts to purchase it, and throws the Viacom people out of their headquarters. As a result of this, these people never got to much power, and Gregory Parker was only known as a racist person amongst his neighborhood.

Main differences

 * Viacom never gets to have big influence on the world, so they never got to have their own world empire for any length of time, and so Viacom isn't nearly as talked about.
 * As a result of this, the National Socialists lose the 1976 East German coup d'état, and East Germany continues on until the 1990 German Reunification where the Berlin Wall was torn down.
 * Also as a result of this, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (better known as North Korea) never gained much power aside from being only somewhat of a modern threat to NATO-allied nations.
 * Although the War of 1991 still happened, the Islamic State of Africa never gained much power, and was eventually liberated by NATO allies.
 * The USA still fought Canada in the War of 1991, and still lost, but they never got outright replaced; rather, they were severely weakened by war, and would no longer be a world power.
 * Canada is still a world power, but they do not own any land outside of North America. Rather, Israel is instead the Republic of Judea, comprising of OTL Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, the Sinai Peninsula, and the island of Cyprus.
 * Alaska still owns the "panhandle" that they lost.
 * As a result of the non-existence of Viacom, the arcade game Polybius is more like OTL's myth than TTL's real, existent Viacomese arcade game.
 * Indeed, without Viacom's influence, most of the television distribution and syndication market comes from Screen Gems, Lexington Broadcasting Studio (OTL's Lexington Broadcasting Service), CBS Distribution and CiNAR Distribution.
 * Another consequence is that Nintendo becomes more like OTL than in TTL proper; if there was no Viacom to remind us that being a "soulless shack of a monopolizing corporation who has no care for the people who like what they do and instead churn out same-ish content to spoon-feed people who for some reason enjoy this crap", as put best by Green City creator Timothy Thomas is such a bad thing to do, then that's exactly what some of the bigger companies would become.
