That's also not too accurate as living expenses and taxation differ radically across those countries. Some of those countries you might pay 35-40% tax from your 100k salary, some of them 12% or less.

There are also benefits from living in certain locations that don't factor into living expenses but just affect quality of life.

Yes and there are a lot of other factors like healthcare, education (if you have kids) etc. For a healthy young single person a country with very low taxes such as Singapore might be the best choice. For somebody older who is married with kids Germany would be better (taxes are high but you get a lot of value back for the money you to in like cheap/free education).
Also timezone difference may be the factor depending of what level of presence and availability is negotiated.
