I'd read a Steam review that said to avoid the "Very Easy" and "Easy" sponsors as they made the game seriously easy (so starting as USA is out, that's "Easy"), so I started as "Normal" difficulty Europe. I picked an ok but not great starting point for a total starting difficulty of 200%. That wasnt difficult at all considering it was my first attempt.
Next time I went for Paradox as Sponsor (Hard difficulty) and a worse starting spot for a difficulty of 300% and it still doesnt take any planning. Just plonk down power and water lines, a couple of domes near Rare Metals, and it all ticks over making enough profit to buy necessities quite easily.
It's not a bad game, Steam says I've played 30 hours so far, it's just not very deep or challenging.
