Just a note: Madhaven, Spirit West, Shemarrian Nation and Free Quebec all have info on the Northeastern Old American Empire. Granted, Free Quebec's info is only in passing.
I'd love to see a Northeast World Book though, eitherway.

I'd think, unless they do a dedicated Republicans book, that the Northeast really is pretty well covered by what you already mentioned. I'd rather a Pacific Northwest/Canadian Pacific Coast book.
I also hope Black Market will cover their Area 51 Operations etc.
I disagree. While those books cover the Northeast they do not do so in any sort of detail beyond the subjects they are covering.
The following could/should be covered in more detail:
The Longhouse Preserve
The "baronies" mentioned in Free Quebec that exist between the Preserve and the Quebecois.
Republican HQ (possibly in Mass, as I noted above)
The Pirate Kingdom of Montreal
Small feudal "kingdoms" (and I do mean small).
The areas of high magic activity noted on the map in the original Rifts RPG.
And a bunch of other ideas I have been kicking around for 10+ years.

Rifts New England: Features could include
1) The Cult of the Red Foot, based out of Boston. They all wear red socks and lack any sort of Pre-Rifts knowledge whatsoever. They conduct insane rituals, kidnap people and sacrifice them to undo "The Curse of the Babe."
2) A techno-wizard Kingdom in Niagra Falls based around the works and efforts of Nicolai Tesla. Death Rays! Van de Graff Generators! New Radios! I'm shocked that something like this wasn't done in New West with Denver. Tesla deserves his due.
3) Moose People (huh???, Balabanto?): Bullwinkle! Smart and with guns! What's not to like?
4) The Haunting of Route One!: This is a creepy road to drive on at night, especially in Maine. The Ghosts of Moody's Diner. "Would you like some pie, living ones?" (If you live in the area, drive there. It's really great pie.)
