Half the vehicles in the US only have a foot operated parking brake, which would make this task impossible. Not knowing how to start on a hill without a hand brake will leave anyone in the country in very bad place eventually. I'm unsure what your country's requirements are for having a handbrake but there are none that I'm aware of in the US. Out of the three manuals that I own, only one has a handbrake.
It's actually much easier to do once you get used to it.
