dude you have it messed up...1. the second the avatar dies the new one is born into the next nation 2. the rulers or leaders of that nation DO know who the avatar is by showing each baby like 1000 toys and if they pick the right four toys that means their the avatar 3. but yes they wait to announce the avatar until 16 do to emotional distress it could cause if they find out when theyre younger (ex. they told aang when he was twelve and he was sad and confused so he ran away)
