Having a civ with no uniqe traits or negative ones?

[Baconissweet]

Hello all first time poster, long time lurker.

An idea came to me, what if there was a civilization in Civ VI that had no unique attributes or instead they had bad ones.

I assume the initial reaction would be that it sounds stupid; but I'm thinking in the vein of Dan from Street Fighter, or the purposeful terrible classes from the Dark Souls series. The idea is to have a civ that is on purpose the worst civ and it's done so to give the player an extra challenge. Basically, one could brag that they beat Deity with this civ.

I would assume the biggest hurdle to this idea would be picking a civ to be purposefully the worst. So what do you think? Good or bad idea. For fun, share what civ you think would fit this bill.

My example (all for fun, no offense)

Civ: Canada
Leader: Mackenzie Bowell
Leader Ability: Lonely Funiral - Canada gains pop slower than normal
UA: O'Canada - All civs will stay neutral with Canada as they are indifferent towards it. This includes trade.
UU: Mountie - damages itself when attacks, apologizes to enemy unit for inflicting injury.

Just going by the title of the post (no unique, not negative), not the post, I said Good Idea.

Pick a colour, pick a name, and go. Great for MP. No whinging about balance. Just play.

A "neutral" civ might be good...but
-multiple players should be able to choose it
-it should only be allowed with a special game mode
-it should have player chosen or random name/no leader animation/city list from other civs, to avoid offense

Interesting idea, but I don't see much use in it, we already have special rulesets and map-challenges to fill that "Brag that you won Deity with this setup!"-rule. Would just be a Civ that realistically most people don't play and only causes silliness when picked by the AI.

Good for a mod though.
