How are government restirctions on units implemented?

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...

It does work. You are right. I have tried doing in myself in Arpi, playing as the Romani.

That's very interesting. I will do it myself too.

That's obviously a blatant exploit.

Indeed. It is discourged to use this exploit. This exploit would be made impossible if it were possible, but doing so would add tons of text and not work exactly the way it was wanted to.

Well, it all depends on how you see it. If I install a type IV government with a level 4 regional MIC in Thraikia, playing as Makedonia/Epeiros, and I have it stay there for 50+ years, and then decide to build a type I/II government, you could see it that the Epeirotes/Makedonians liked the Thracian way of fighting, and gave them the right to keep training in their own manner.
