This visualization displays global population distribution using a natural Earth projection, with circle markers positioned at capital cities. Circle size encodes population magnitude, while color categorizes each country by continent. The visualization uses D3’s `geoNaturalEarth1` projection and `geoPath` for rendering country boundaries and graticules, with `topojson-client` converting TopoJSON world atlas data. Population and capital coordinates come from combined CSV datasets, with circle radii scaled proportionally to the square root of population.
