I started that way, it’s nice. You can still play on hard mode with the poverty debuff, but if you pick the right starting region it makes for a good game. Playing on dark mode with poverty debuff is just constant grinding with the level progression all fucked up, it’s kind of immersion breaking. You can get participation trophies that way though.
If you start with the cheat code you get a permanent culture debuff though.

True but the culture debuff makes you more likely to acquire the “unempathetic” trait which if your goal is a financial victory is a must.
