This visualization shows global population trends over time for major world regions, with each region drawn as a distinct colored line using a basis curve. The chart orders the color legend by each line’s final population value, and employs D3’s `nest` and `scaleOrdinal` with `schemeCategory10` to group and color the data. It loads UN population estimates from 1950 to 2014, merging them with medium-variant projections through 2100, and renders via SVG with custom axes and a standalone `colorLegend` component.
