This visualization renders the hierarchical structure of world countries as a vertical tree, grouping nations by continent and subregion. It shows the nested relationships between continents, regional divisions, and individual countries. The code uses D3 v5’s `tree` layout and `hierarchy` functions to compute node positions, with `linkVertical` generating curved paths for connections. SVG circles and text labels display each node, while the `zoom` behavior enables panning and scaling. Data is loaded from a JSON file, and styling uses the Playfair Display font with color-coded nodes and links by depth.
