National flavor can be added by including nation specific camo patterns for hulls.

Being spanish, I can't think of any positive Spain should have in the campaign. Maybe... MAYBE, some kind of advantage in submarines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_submarine_Peral), destroyers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_warship_Destructor and only if you don't take into account that the ship itself was designed in the UK) and if the campaign gets to last (in the first version or the game, DLCs or any potential sequel) to a point in which planes or other aerial vehicles (even if used only for patrols), then maybe helicopters/autogyros (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_la_Cierva,_1st_Count_of_la_Cierva). Cannot think of anything else at the starting point of the campaign.

But the most obvious negative, apart from low industrial capacity, low wealth, low tech, lack of big shipyards, etc... would actually be huge corruption plaguing the government.

If I remember correctly, a great deal of the ammunition shot against the north american ship in the battle of Santiago de Cuba (1898) was filled not with explosive, but with sawdust. It might have been training ammo... or someone who wanted to increase their margins and sold that to the Spanish Navy, not giving a fxxk about what was going to happen. And this might seem far fetched, but it is not. It's completely believable.
