Fair enough. I wouldn't take that nicovideo one as gospel. 
I like the other jokey names on that site, e.g. 逝ギリス, 腐ランス.
For a gloss, probably just "America".

the nikkei article: "たとえば、2ちゃんねる株式板に常駐する人々は、二言
目には「ダメリカ」ないしは「ダメ理科」という言葉を使う。意味するところは、モロに
「ダメなアメリカ」、さらに踏み込んだ語感としては「酸素と二酸化炭素の区別もつかな
い、理科音痴のアメリカ人」ぐらい。"

going through 2ch posts on logsoku (ダメリカ 
site:logsoku.com/), all the usage seems to refer to the 
country, couldn't find a single post that seems to talk 
about Americans interested in anime/manga

I left this hanging, and 3 days later Marcus did another edit of the original, suggesting "the United States of America" as the gloss. I'll approve this (to prevent further forks), then reopen.

Edits. No hint of ダメ in there too?
