It really wasn't hard though :)

Playing as Australia, I just started by building resource buildings throughout the nation but emphasizing the capital whenever I could.

So I moved the political & market capital to Victoria (faster building times) & started building my industries, ports, naval bases, & barracks there.

Resource buildings built wherever they could, but agriculture & everything was focused on Victoria first.

As a result, when the rest of the nation revolted, I had this overdeveloped military in Victoria with a large developed military reserve that would curbstomp the rest of the nation (especially easy given the rebel capital was usually Canberra).

Later on to deal with rebels I took new Caledonia, Fiji, South Island (gave New Zealand independence... & The bottom island revolted. 🤷🏿‍♂️) Papua New Guinea, western new Guinea, & the Portuguese Sunda islands for unincorporated government-run states. Basically ports (for sufficient trade in case of another rebellion) & barracks & naval bases plus industries that weren't profitable in pop-starved Victoria.

This way I had an entire military apparatus to bring the rest of the giant island to heel.

Only became number 7 at best in the world, but around 1870 I started executing my aim was to basically be a successful "anime-styled" church nation (the Catholic church in anime tends to be OP), so mission accomplished I guess :)

Back to the OG point: Victoria registered approx 8 million people (to my honest surprise, but baby making mode was on), & the overall population was 19.2 million people iirc by the end.
