The government type does not directly determine what units you can recruit: it limits the level of factional & regional MICs you can construct.

Type I : factional 5 / regional 2
Type II: factional 4 / regional 3
Type III:factional 3 / regional 4
Type IV:factional 2 / regional 5

Certain provinces may be type I, but you will only get factional units in the higher levels MICs. Check out the EB recruitment viewer (should be inside your installation folder, but you can find a less up-to-date one on the EB website) to see what you can recruit in certain provinces. As far as recruitment goes: type III is almost always better than type IV since there are almost no regional units that still require a level 5 regional MIC.
Carthage being a notable exception, to get reforms you need 5 lvl 5 regional mics -.- learned that the hard way after not reading reform instructions thorougly xD
