best faction to turtle with?

i do love spain, but their early game is much too fast paced for me. I was just doing sicily until about turn 50, when i randomly went deep into debt in one turn (wtf???). lol, i had like, 9000 florins one turn and then the next i had -1032 or something like that lol...weird...

That's probably not caused by a single origin but make sure that the rebels/enemies are not blocking your trade roads as well. Enemy army (especially rebels) blocking road to harbor is fatal to income.

This could be caused by plague though ...
In my Spanish campaign a long time ago the plague took my about -30k in dept
That happened within just 3 turns if I remember correctly...
And that time I was fighting against almost everyone
I managed to balance the income so after the plague went away (It took more than 20 turns to get rid of it because of a single French spy who traveled between my towns) I had the one turns income somewhere around 50-60k
To balance the income I had to disband most of my armies though
