Nations would no longer have tech trees - teams would. If you want someone
to have a separate tech tree, assign them to a named team with that tree.
In the techs ruleset, you would name the team instead of the nation.

Another option is to reconsider whether team research was a good idea in
the first place. In Starcraft (yes, I know I bring this up often) players
simply cannot trade techs. For a team vs team game, this might work just
as well, and may be much simpler and less annoying both for players and
for coders.
