These values (suggested bids) are provided by Facebook based on the competitive landscape of the chosen geographical target. This is usually based on penetration i.e. the number of Facebook users in the country/city, and on how many advertisers are actually bidding to reach the same target.
But, before you go spend all your money trying to get cheaper likes from Eastern Europe, remember that is often quality that prevails over quantity. Facebook targeting is an awesome opportunity to grow your business where it really matters, always remember that.
