Since I didn't follow the other Wipeout games, I had no idea that each team represents a country or group of countries until I found this site.

Hah! That's great! I actually have the original WipeOut on PSOne (the one in the tall cardboard case) and it had a little supplement and minimal info on what country each team belonged to but nothing THAT expansive.
I always used Piranha myself but never really noticed any difference in how the teams differed other than color and ship designs. If you were good, you were good and that's what's always been so great about the Wipeout series; it's always been more about pilot skill and less about how fast one ship was than the next.
I really wish I could see this game on another console other than PS3 because, really, I don't want to get a PS3. My friend David got this game though and, goddamnit, I WANT a PS3 but I WON'T buy one because I haven't seen many games I like that aren't already on the 360.
It's kind of like having a raging hard-on and being hornier than Peter North yet refusing to bang that fat chick down the street who you KNOW will ride you like a veteran bull jockey. Sure it might seem like a good idea at the time; especially if you're drunk. But goddamnit, what are you gonna do when you sober up and realize there's only a couple positions you can beach the whale before you get bored.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
