It can be done in maps, but not modded. Map-commands allow you to set where a nation starts, and changing of a poptype of a spesific province. Together, this gets the result you want. If someone (it could be you!) combined a list of nations and fitting poptypes, it shouldn't be hard to do a script to automate it.

These poptypes can NOT be recruited by the nation that starts on top of them, of course.

New poptypes can't be created, but the existing poptypes can be used for many nations. E.g.:

Abysia - Garnet Amazons
C'tis - independent lizards
Man - knights/longbowmen
Ulm - there's probably some poptype with both armored infantry and armored crossbowmen
Marignon - light infantry and light crossbows
Machaka - Lion Tribe
Mictlan - Jaguar Tribe

Some nations don't have appopriate poptypes (all giant races, R'lyeh, Pythium), and the balance change could be problematic, especially for giving out mages.
