You can still log-in as much as you want regardless, for the sake of free turns or just to monitor your country/markets. Some delay their starts in order to let markets adjust/come down a little, or to see how markets & other countries are before even deciding a government/strategy. This can be good from that perspective, but you'll also be playing catch-up and early starters may look at you for a landgrab as they'll be stronger.
Some strats like to start early to take advantage of higher market prices as well as be the first to hit some bots before some are over-farmed...then again waiting does let them get fatter too. Additionally, starting early should put you near the top in net, so you normally won't be a land target.
Those are a few things to consider, but there are pros and cons for each. Consider what's best for you and your strategy and experiment and have fun.
