How realistically long can Chile become and still be a functional country in terms of foreign diplomacy and inner stability(well relative to the continent at large anyway)? Earliest POD is 1800-1820, around the the Latin American rebellions.
Caveat, Chile has to be long, so no control place like Cusco, La Paz, Eastern Patagonia or any contact with the Amazon or Chaco region, bonus point if somehow Peru loses access to the Pacific, double bonus point if Ecuador loses access as well, gold medal if Chile cuts Colombia as well and has access to the Caribbean Sea. Crazy objectives but I still aim at plausibility.
