No one country, several countries - any that are above the Arctic Circle. Look on a map or globe to see what countries lie within that circle.

"Close to the summer solstice, on June 21, the Northern Hemisphere reaches its maximum inclination toward the Sun and the Sun illuminates all the polar area down to latitude +66°34'. As seen from the polar area, the Sun does not set, but only reaches its lowest altitude in the north at midnight. Latitude +66°34' defines the Arctic Circle, which is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere where the midnight sun can be observed near the summer solstice. However, atmospheric refraction raises objects on the horizon by about 34', and the midnight sun can therefore be seen for a few days from locations 80 km (50 mi) south of the Arctic Circle. Observers at latitudes above the Arctic Circle see the midnight sun higher above the northern horizon, or correspondingly, see the midnight sun before the summer solstice."

Anywhere south of the Antarctic Circle or north of the Arctic Circle will have at least one 24 hour period of continuous sunlight. The closer you get to the pole, the longer will be the continuous sunshine until you get six months of it at the pole.

In the southern hemisphere, most of Antarctica is south of the Antarctic Circle. In the northern hemisphere Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, the USA, Canada and Greenland qualify. Iceland is just south of the Arctic Circle.
