Yes. The advantage of using voting tokens is that it creates a level playing field, assuming everyone receives the same number of tokens.

As written elsewhere I don't think that's an advantage :^)

I think the system you describe could be better than what we have now, but it unfairly favours wealthy countries. I find the mix of borderless money with country's elections questionable.
In the end, you may not have your country for too long...

As brought up by someone else, the money could also be sent to that country's government instead of being burned. You would have even less incentive to vote on laws of other countries.
Also, I think that the huge disparity in the different countries' power/wealth are unfortunately very hard to fix by anything... This reminds me of Bitcoin criticism that goes something like "rich people can just buy a lot of btc and stay rich": yeah it's unfortunate but there's not much we can do about it, it's an issue deeper than Bitcoin/the voting system... Still a stepup IMO
