they are the same as the Chantry, both good and ill. One is not better than the other.
So you keep saying, but it seems it's more of a personal vendetta when you keep insisting based on flimsy "evidence" that you misunderstand, either willfully or otherwise. 
No.So pray tell... In this clearly hypothetical Elven nation.... Would a human be able to one day become king, or its equivalent, of the nation?
This would be a very reasonable compromise, and one that I hope occurs if the elves ever form a nation. With the clans spread out and disorganized, however, it would do more harm than good to allow the Andrastian religion to take root among the People.
Why would they be spread out though? This was when they consolidated and formed a nation.

I have no vendetta against the Dalish. Don't know where you got that. Just because I point out that they have flaws in their culture doesn't mean I hate them. Ask me about any human, dwarf, or qunari culture and I'd do the same thing.
Nomads don't become settlers overnight.Why would they be spread out though? This was when they consolidated and formed a nation.
No.
Elven. Nation. <.<
So the nation would, by its very core, not promote equality and humans would always be second grade citizens in the country?

They are all already gathered for their 10 year meeting.

The "flaws" you say they have are comparing apples and oranges. They don't force city elves to convert, and this somehow makes them as bad as the Chantry who do force conversions. Okaaaay.

Oh yeah, the humans are great at that! ...oh wait.

Show me where the Chantry forces conversions.

My initial points were regarding the current state of the elves and the Dalish desire for new additions to adapt to the existing culture. I agree with you that it would be ideal if the two religions could coexist if the elves ever actually form a nation.
Again, where does it state elves have to be some kind of fantasy hippies that strive for equality for all? Humanity has held its boot on the throat of elvenkind of thedas for a long time. At this point humanity should be thankful if they only lose the foot in the boot. I seriously doubt that the elves would allow any kind of permanent human residency within their borders.So the nation would, by its very core, not promote equality and humans would always be second grade citizens in the country?

You have got to be trolling.

That's fine, but I was talking about that when all the Elves gather to for the new nation, they would put what was suggested in as a policy.

The entire point of an elven kingdom is that the elves have self-determination over their own future, not to leave them at the mercy of humans who view them as (in Duncan's words) "less than people". We've seen what happens to elves under human rule - whether it's the purge in the Denerim Alienage that left countless dead, including children in the orphanage, or the massacre of thousands of elves in Halamshiral because Celene didn't want to appear weak - and I think an alternative is in order where the elves are masters of their destiny.

At the same time an elf could become king of a human nation.

Hello, exalted marches?
With so much influence over the people, the Chantry can exert considerable political pressure on the ruling classes in many areas of concern. In extraordinary times, and in deference to Andraste, the Divine may also be moved to declare an Exalted March. These religious crusades have mobilized armies of thousands to destroy the heretical enemies of the Maker. The first March after Andraste's death was against the elves of the Dales.[10] The next four were against Tevinter, and the most recent was against theQunari. Tevinter also took part in the latest march

Do you also object to the fact that this is true for every nation that currently exists in Thedas? Can a human become king of Orzammar? Can a Qunari become ruler of Orlais?
...
No, I'm not. I have yet to see any evidence of the Chantry dragging people off to convert or giving them no choice. If they did, the Dalish wouldn't exist at all because they'd have never been able to leave.
And accusing people of trolling can be considered trolling.

The Exalted Marches against the Elves were justified that the Elves were heathens. Part of the goal of that March was to convert the Elves of the Dales. Forcibly. With swords.

Two words: Exalted March.

A country has a lot of people to crush into submission; the Dalish are the ones who escaped.
The entire history of the city elves after the conquest of the Dales.
You mean, like the elves who were forced to convert after the fall of the Dales?

Exalted Marches are militant actions. That's like saying the Crusades was about converting Muslims. They weren't, they were about capturing Jerusalem.
And again, if they gave no choice in the matter the Dalish wouldn't exist at all.
