Google's knowledge of your location is much more detailed than only your phones GPS location.
- Billing addresses for Google Play
- Wifi and cellular networks seen by your Android devices
- IP addresses and other identifiers of all devices you used to access Google services (mobile and web)
- GPS metadata in pictures uploaded to Google Images and Drive
- Documents with addresses such as bills in your Google Drive and Gmail
And probably much more that I can't think of right now.
The Google Play store country however can be changed once per year, but you need a valid billing method originating from this country.
