I doubt that this exists. Lexis-Nexus provides access to US Federal Tax ID info (FEIN), but I imagine there are license restrictions. Public Companies are required to file much of this info and it should be available via the SEC Edgar interface. GuideStar provides access to nonprofit 990 data (which would include much of what you are looking for EIN data but ...

OpenStreetMap to the rescue! Its cycling map shows contour lines and shaded relief (even in Canada):
(source: opencyclemap.org)
Like most open data projects (probably Natural Earth, too), they use NASA's SRTM (OSM Wiki) dataset that has global coverage, as far as I know. As you seem to need contour shapefiles, refer to the article Contours (OSM Wiki) for a ...

State population projections (except for Vermont) list from the Census.
Not sure about data quality here; I only clicked on Virginia and District of Columbia, and Virginia's link had succumbed to linkrot. Updated reference:

The OSMData Land Polygons include all land areas in the world, which should mean it includes the data you are looking for. It's derived from natural:coastline rather than place:island, so it shouldn't have the same gaps for larger islands but may be excessively large and unwieldy.

There are many commercial data sources for company data. Data quality varies widely. INFOT (infotdata.com) sells reasonably good databases for most major countries, but it's Yellow Pages quality. Many businesses are missing, and there's a fair amount of bogus information. In particular, web site names for companies are often inaccurate. It's good enough ...
