And, as you state, Germany and Japan are real world players. They were obviously excluded as the losers of WWII, but that was fifty years ago. Time to move on.

Brazil is not in the top ten for military spendng, it has not played an active role in various military situations around the world, it is not one of the largest economies, AFAIK.
By the logic of saying they the region's "superpower", then Australia and Nigeria should be on the council too.
India would simply be a destabilizing influence. Pakistan would hit the roof if India had that sort of influence above them.
