1) You need to calculate the cost of Tax.

Using a different spec

US: $1,199
UK: 781,28GBP = $1217
Denmark: 7119,20DKK = $1320
Sweden: 9596,00SEK =$1287

It's actually pretty close together, especially when you include factors such as

2) Regulations, Shipping Taxes, Customs, Blah Blah (the people most people ignore and blame companies for)
3) Economics of scale. Not every country has the same amount of people, or even order the same amount of Macs. The more Macs, the Cheaper. Same with iPods. The price is inversely proportional.
4) The cost of the Mac servicers, this matters too.
