This scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using a linear scale for population and a point scale for country names. The visualization employs D3 v5 APIs including `scaleLinear`, `scalePoint`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft`, rendering SVG circles with fixed radii. Data is loaded from a CSV file with d3.csv, and population values are converted to numbers and multiplied by 1000. The chart includes formatted axis tick labels using d3.format’s `.3s` notation and gridlines via negative tick sizes.
