I looked everywhere but I can't find the place to add/change avatars, can someone help?

EDIT: It would seem mine is my flag, is it possible to change it?

Settings -> National Flag

In other words, your avatar will always be your national flag.

Is there a reason why we can't change our Avatars then Hack ?

I think it's the same reason our forum names are our nations names.

Pretty much this. Max wants the new forum to be more closely integrated with the game, rather than a separate, tacked-on thing the way it is with Jolt (which is about as anti-integrated as you can get, just ask anybody who's been affilicted with the "I can't verify my forum account!" problem.) Thus forum name = nation name, avatar = flag, and things like your nation's type are displayed on your little profile box on posts.

And hey, it might encourage people who use one of the pre-built flags for their nation to come up with an original design so they stick out on the forums :D
