Only in a Taylor Swift song could Libya and Namibia rhyme with trivia (though I doubt she'd ever use either of those words). Libya and Namibia both rhyme with tibia. Bolivia rhymes with trivia.

In a lot of languages they do rhyme (just info). The y in libya is pronounced (or even written as) an i. Whereas in english, in this case, the y is treated like a j.

I would agree, but apparently in english they officially say ahsaylia, not ahzahlia. Sounds kind of redneck/rural to me and not official proper at all. But well... looked it up, so it is what it is :) (you dont say day-lia for dahlia do you?)

Azalea and Australia may not perfectly rhyme.

Azalea: əˈzeɪ.li.ə (a-ZAY-lee-a)

Australia: ɔˈstɹeɪ.ljə (aw-STRAY-lya)

But this might vary on regional accents.

I'm not sure if I can write this, but if you exaggerate the a in bad (which is prevalent in certain areas of the Northeast & Midwest US), it sounds almost like two syllables: BAY-ad. Chad, on the other hand, is Chaaaaad...a very flat a.

Looking at how other words are pronouned ( or englishized) in english I expected the english prononciation to be cro-ey-tia and not cro-ah-tia. And exception to the rule I guess.

edit.. ok you DO pronounce croatia just as I expected, but apparently you pronounce acacia differently.. which feels even more weird. Not a-kah-shia, but a-kay-shia
