Is it possible to create different NS for different countries?

For example, we have 4 nameservers:

#for US
ns1.us.domain.com
ns2.us.domain.com

#for Europe
ns1.europa.domain.com
ns2.europa.domain.com

DNS requests coming from Europe will go to ns1.europa, ns2.europa and requests from US and other world will go to ns1.us, ns2.us.

Maybe some paid DNS provides can do it? Any other other ways to speedup DNS lookup? Any links and advises are appreciated.

Assuming that you understand first of all that DNS lookups are cached closer to the user anyway (so you're only talking about the initial lookup by an ISP resolver or similar - before they get your result cached)... the only way to do what you're asking is via Anycast as TheCleaner already eluded to.

Anycast is already explained in excellent detail here: What is "anycast" and how is it helpful?

If you subscribe to DNS services such as Amazon's Route 53 or Akamai, they will provide this type of service for you.

You have to understand that they will leverage their respective network infrastructure to do so...not the DNS protocol per say.
