Even so, I think you should be able to reset your nation in case you messed up. The idea that you can't reset your nation until after 3 days and that those who did the tutorial have a massive advantage over those who didn't seems somewhat unfair to me. Atleast let us reset our nation if we screwed up. There is literally zero margin of error with the tutorial (Spend too much, and you have to wait a whole week to complete it, spend too early, you might as well give up on it).
Sheepy did nothing wrong though, it's just the internet mentality of skipping through everything and charging ahead.
