I'd always assumed that New England was one of the 50 states. Now I discover that there is no state called New England! Would I therefore be right in assuming that New England is a title given to cover several states around the Hampshire area??

I just answered my own question! Yes, it is. New England is in fact Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Thank you Wikipedia!
