A planetary region with no night and no tidal locking?

Without tidal locking, would it be possible to have a planet with a region roughly the shape and size of the USA and Canada in which it is always "day"? (By day I mean at least as bright as a clear day immediately after the sun has set). I would like the planet to have roughly the gravity of Earth, and to not be tidally locked to a star. This is because I want it to be able to generate a magnetic field. However, the surface conditions of the planet do not necessarily have to be conducive to life. I'd also prefer it if the configuration could plausibly form naturally.
