the answer is Sweden it has 6 months of light and 6 months of darkness
that is the case because it is above the Arabic circle,witch is a circle around the northpole,extending down to a latitude of 23 degree's which is equal to the tilt of earth axis.
Because of the tilt of the axis, any place North of the Arctic circle will have sunlight 24 hours a day for half the year, and darkness the rest of the year, or at least twilight.
You can see how this works if you shine a light from across the room onto a globe which has the correct tilt of 23 degrees.

The phenomenon you describe is only true at the South Pole. The sun sets on about March 21 and rises again about September 21.

Again, there is plenty of light otherwise.
