Morningstars and ball and chain are European weapons exclusively, I believe. Persians definitely used a lot of maces, some of which might "qualify" as a morning star, by virtue of being, you know, spikey. The weapon is interchangeable with an axe, though, in terms of game mechanics (morning stars are slightly better, IIRC) - so no reason to give units with both.
Actually, morning stars have the #flail bonus against shields. That makes them very different from axes, and that's the reason I suggested them instead of 1-handed flails.
