The flag in your profile is determined by the location of your internet provider. If it has changed it is usually because you have been traveling, you switched to a new internet provider, or because your provider is routing their stuff through that particular country at the moment.

Sometimes the flag will change back of its own accord and sometimes it is stuck. However, it isn't something that we can manually switch to a specific flag.

Basically the flag is determined by the login IP address. There is no way for you to change it from your account.

And just to further what everyone else has said, you can find this information located in the Help tab, in the FAQ.

6. My country flag is wrong. Can I change it?

Your country is determined automatically by looking up your IP address in a GeoIP database. It isn't meant to reflect your nationality. Furthermore, the database is only 99% accurate so some members may show an incorrect location. Unfortunately there is no way to override your country flag.
