Except Edison did NOT invent the light bulb. He improved the carbon filament bulb making it economically viable, but more expensive and shorter lived bulbs had been around for over 75 years. Carbon filament was invented by English chemist Sir Humphry Davy in 1802. British astronomer Warren de la Rue invented the expensive but effective platinum filament bulb. Edison's bulb is a direct ripoff of a patent of British chemist Joseph Wilson Swan.

Edison's patent is named "IMPROVEMENTS In Electric Lights", and was based on a Canadian patent -itself derived from Swan's- for a carbon filament lamp in nitrogen atmosphere, that Edison initially "borrowed" and then straight out bought. Edison lamp was just the cheapest and the one which won the commercialization battle. Contemporary to Edison, Piedmontese inventor Alessandro Cruto designed a lamp with ten times the life span and five time the efficiency of Edison's, meeting little commercial success outside of his region because he lacked distribution and large scale manufacturing capability. 20 years later, it's patents made their way to Holland, into a small family company in Eindhoven, becoming the basis for the global success of what is now known as Philips.

"How many countries in North America?" It depends on who you ask. It ranges from 2 (Canada and USA) to 23, and that doesn't include territories of other countries, like Greenland. Even if you narrow it down into 'northern America', the answer could be 2 (Canada and USA) or 3, with Mexico added.
