Back the when GE and Westinghouse were battling AC didn’t mean three-phase AC. Two-phase, where the phases were 90 degrees apart, was an easier system to analyze and generate. The Westinghouse generators at Niagara Falls, for example, produced two-phase. I doubt you will find many Two Phase service nowadays though.

I'm not an EE, but I don't think that such a thing exists anywhere, at least not as commercial power. The US does have 240v split phase, but that's single phase.
