What would it take for Venezuela to not decline precipitously the way it has since the 1990s/2000s, to not have Hugo Chavez and then Nicolas Maduro in power, to more properly manage its oil revenues and so forth (I'm not saying like Norway though), and to keep its relatively high rankings in per capita income and similar indicators among Latin American countries? In short, to be a "normal" relatively advanced Latin American country along the lines of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, etc.?
Perhaps a (somewhat) less rigid Puntofijo Pact of 1958 than iOTL, such that at least what passes for democracy in Venezuela lasts longer, perhaps until the present day?
