How about Riverworld for the Mississippi and Missouri river system?

The Cyberiad. It's never been done for GURPS, but it's a distinctively Polish kind of science fiction, very funny, and will give both Hitler and Zone Moscow fits.

New England should be Lovecraftian Horror, but perhaps the closest GURPS comes is Nightreign (Cthulhupunk's high tech seems out of place in the rural areas).

Surprised nobody has said already -
Transylvania: Girl Genius.
(And it's not a setting book and is 3e, but if a little Blood Types was thrown in as well, that lady from Payne's Circus would be very happy!).

Given bio-engineered germs Moscow should be able to produce, Moscow wins.

Um, this is not a "Science Triumphs!" sort of world. There are probably plenty of places where the bio-engineered germs will be killed by the Bad Air and others where epidemiologists with The Evil Eye kill them off.

Considering how much Moscow has diverged from the other zoneminds, it could very well be more interested in just collecting data than starting a new war... and even if it wanted to, it would be smart enough to know that it would be more likely to get itself destroyed since so many of the other regions have powers it doesn't understand.

Is there no setting that takes place in the Nordic countries? Vikings or whatever?
