Most countries use the Gregorian calendar, as the U.S. does. However some cultures use calendars that apply the same rules as the Gregorian calendar does. One example would be the Chinese Leap year, which adds a leap month about every three years. The placement of this leap month varies from year to year, and the name of the month is the same as the month preceding it.
The Iranian calendar adds a leap day every four years as well, however every 6 or 7 years, the leap day is added on the fifth year instead of the fourth. The Iranian calendar, which only needs correction every 141,000 years, is more accurate than the Gregorian calendar, which needs correction about every 3226 years.
Other examples include the Jewish (which also adds a leap month, Adar I), Hindu, Islamic, Baha'i (which adds a leap day to the last month every four years), and Ethiopian calendars. As far as I can tell, pretty much every country has a form of leap year.
