To conclude I think all things being equal I don't know if the international IQ would be exactly 100 for every country, as there can be differences in intelligence between different subgroups of people, but it would be a lot closer to 100 than it is now.

Also I am not even sure how good IQ is at measuring all types of intelligence. As you have probably seen there are people that are undeniably intelligent but have an enormous blindspot or two in that intelligence. Many people who are unevenly intelligent and other people who are otherwise unintelligent with one or even a few amazing skills. It's hard to measure this with one singular number.
