This problem occurred in the first 1.3 WiF update and is still present in the "final" version.
1. All countries seem to start at level 0 espionage. It is not a serious problem.
2. Money production from consumer seem to be at ARMA 1.2 patch level which is absurd under the 1.3 upkeep espionage conditions. 1.3 basically increased money production to cover the higher expenses on upkeep (not present in 1.2). For example, in WiF Germany has a high money deficit right from the start, at espionage level 0. In 1.3 vanilla, even Germany and Soviet Union have a nice positive money production while at peace.
The overall effect is that there is much less money in the world in the latest WiF than in vanilla 1.3 HoI2 which makes higher levels of espionage (quite normal in 1.3 vanilla) barely sustainable in WiF Titanium.
