How are government restirctions on units implemented?

What I mean is this: If I create a level 4 government, does the game make it so I can't create the high level faction barracks, or can I still create them, just not recruit the high level units?

Just wondering, thanks!

You cannot create the high level barracks.

You can exploit it by making a level 4 gov., building the highest regional barracks, then destroying the lvl 4 gov and building a lvl 1 or 2 gov, so you could build the highest factional barracks while having the highest regional barracks as well.

hmmm i always thought of doing that idea, never thought it would work though

It doesn't AFAIK. After the government is destroyed, the availability of certain units changes. Especially if you move from a type 4 to a type 1 or 2 governemnt.

Government buildings do not directly affect availablility of units. To do so would cause CTDs.

I'm pretty sure it works. I've had the situation a couple of times, where I decided to upgrade my government, but the regional units were still available...
