i just went and tried a few of these. the console does come down, and it's the tilde key, but without the shift. just hit the key without using shift for uppercase.

i got the add_money to work....once. after that, i couldnt get it to work again. same with add_population. it worked once and only once.

i tried the give_trait and give_trait_points, but couldnt get them to work at all. not sure if this is because i tried other cheats before this and the thing just quits giving cheats or if i was entering it wrong or if the thing just doesnt work like it's stated.

i also got the process_cq to work, but again, only once. all attempts after the first successful one wouldnt work.

so, long story short... it seems buggy or inaccurate, but some did work.
