None of the listed words is a true rhyme with nicosia /ˌnɪkəʊˈsiːə/. Cassia has a similar final /siə/, but the stress falls on the first syllable. Amnesia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Tunisia, and ambrosia end in /ziə/ (or /ʒə/ in some accents), so their -s is voiced /z/, not nicosia's /s/. They are useful -sia/-osia spelling lookalikes, not sound matches.
