I have just finished my LP as Chile in Victoria 2, HPM. Chile is probably one of my favorite countries to play as in this game now.

Chile at the beginning of the game.
Starting as Chile, you are not even one of the top 16 countries in the world, but you are a powerful regional power. You have a large military than Peru-Bolivia, where you have claims on and Brazil can easily be your ally (Easily the strongest S. American nation at the beginning).
In the first month, I get an event giving me the option to declare war on the Peru-Bolivian Confederation and to take my claims on Atacama. I accept and i am at war. I win in a matter of two months, and I take my claims and the PBC falls. I then declare war on Peru. This is a much harder war, however, as while Brazil was supposed to aid me in this war, they declined due to a rebellion in Rio Grande do Sul. Against me was Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. Thankfully, I was able to hold out and destroyed the Peruvian army. I kept calling Brazil into war and eventually they agreed. This diverted the Colombian and Venezuelan armies and I was able to march into Lima unopposed. The Brazilians decided to add more war goals, however, so I decided to peace out with the countries before the war ended. It ended and I gained my claims on Atacama and the province including Tacna.
It was mostly quiet from 1838-1852, but in 1852 I researched the tech Nationalism and Imperialism. This was a major event as it allowed me to do two things:
1. Choose an event to expand South into Araucania.
2. Allow me to annex an 'uncivilized' nation for only 10 infamy.
I choose the event and I also annex Vietnam in 1860. I also choose an event which allows me to annex Easter Island, which gives me a base in Polynesia to expand from.
From 1870-1896, there was a period in Chilean history known as "The Police Wars". I was allied with Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay so as to contain the Argentines, Peruvians and Bolivians. After the lands of Patagonia and Araucania were settled by Chile and Argentina, the Argentines proposed a border treaty. We refuted the treaty and they decided to claim Araucania. I retaliated, and took over all of Patagonia. Peru and Bolivia were also in this war, and I decided to retaliate against them as well by destroying their armies. Then, Argentina decided to invade my ally Paraguay so as to take their claims on them. I stuck by Paraguay and fought a war against Peru, Argentina and Bolivia. Paraguay was occupied, as with Uruguay who was also brought in the war, but I was able to completely eliminate the entire Argentine military in this war and ultimately the war ended with Peru ceding the state just below Lima. This ended our expansion at home.
Then, the Scramble for Africa began. I took over Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Cameroon, Benin, Central African Republic, Chad and northeastern Congo, Tahiti and the Solomon Islands. I also took over Cambodia and Laos, as well as taking the treaty ports of Port Arthur and Ningbo from China. This expansion made me a great power, and I proceeded to sphere all the South American nations, and also built the Panama Canal.
I fought a Great War agains the U.K and Germany, along with other enemies, with the allies of USA, Austria and France. I ultimately destroyed the British any and even occupied London. The war ended with Britain needing to dismantle their empire. I annexed almost all of India, New Guinea, much of Polynesia and virtually all of Africa. This made me #5 in the world. I also fought a war with Japan after they assassinated a Chilean political figure, and I forced them to release Korea and Taiwan and I took Brunei.
In the 1920's, China fractured into Civil War. As the Qing Government didn't exactly like me for...lets just say bigger army diplomacy, I wanted to make sure I had a Chinese government which supported Chilean government. I initially supported the state of Manchuria, but following their union with the Kuomintang, I decided to aid them instead. I helped them take over the area around the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers, as well as Guangxi and Shanxi. The Kuomintang decisively won the Civil War after secured the isolated regions of Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, and the Kuomintang and the Chilean government were best bros.
By 1936, I was the third greatest power in the world, only behind Germany and the USA. Here are the pictures
