Google is your friend and Yahoo tells us this presuming it was hours of daylight you were referring to and not actual time as you only get 24 hours a day regardless of where you are - :lol: :lol: :lol:

f you want a country with the same daylight hours, ie always 12 hours of daylight without variation, you need to look at the tropics, ie singapore, ecuador, central africa, etc...

if you want a country with the most daylight, it would be the most southern or northern country. in the south, it would be antarctica, where you would get 24hrs daylight in summer, in the north, Alaska would have around 24hours as well in summer.
