I am running a hands-off with the new TC rules, and I find the same thing. France has no taxmen, nor does England, Spain or Turkey. Austria has one or two.
Lots of defectors, a super-Brittany that reaches to the Netherlands. The Turks still managed to find money to become Defender of the Faith, though.
The game started interesting enough with Auvergne eating up most of France before all her neighbors ganged up on her. But since then it has been no TCs and very little colonization - probably lack of money.
