* No water.
* Lots of hills (you won't cottage those, and it makes granaries less important)
* Lots of resources like gold and gems and riverside dyes, providing commerce concentrated in a few tiles, where FIN's benefit is only a small percentage.
* Not many food resources (making granaries worse since you don't care much about whipping, and also meaning you have to build more farms instead of cottages)
Yeah, I don't think it would be very interesting, or fun.
