Saudi Arabia is missing... doesn't that make the run invalid?

This may be a long post so please bear with me. Im doing some research into this topic (aka a 10,000 word spreadsheet) and I wanted to ask some clarifying questions about the rules, the leaderboards, etc;

Question 1: Is anyone going to moderate this? It's going to be a multi-hour or even multi-day run so I'm not sure if anyone would have the time to do it. This leaderboard isn't that active either so are any mods still active?

Question 2: Does bale # count as a variant? The rules say "Buy everything possible in the game (Every modification for every vehicle, like tyres, every animal, every type of crop, etc." so does quick buying 1-8 bales count as a type?

Question 3: Can money glitches be used? I don't see a realistic way to get 7,224,760 in-game dollars to pay for everything so would using glitches (or the government subsidy mod) be possible?

Question 4 (Edit #1): Do colors count as variants? If so, the plan is dead lamoo

More questions are probably to come! If you can, please contact me at Xaden#0564 on Discord because I likely won't check forum replies as much as other things.

Thanks!
