I thought the distinction between "Eurogames" and "Ameritrash" had more to do with design style than actual nationality.

It does. I'm not sure what you're seeing in the comment you replied to that seems like it's implying otherwise, though.

Eurogames trace their ancestry from early American designers, and Europeans have contributed some really garish ameritrash (esp. the British.)

Absolutely, and there are games that follow the ameritrash design style that are good. risk 2210 is my go-to example.
