It's 12 innings in Japan, at least, that's the last figure I recall being used.
The Korean Baseball Organization also used to allow ties, but dropped that provision starting with the 2008 season.

The NFL has used both methods. Prior to 1972, it used to ignore ties for the purposes of calculating winning percentage. From 1972 onwards, it has considered ties as half won and half lost.
