This example shows a bar chart of country populations using a static CSV dataset loaded with `d3.csv`. The bars are drawn as SVG rectangles within a fixed 960×500 viewport, with population values converted from thousands to absolute numbers via a `+` unary operator. The chart relies on D3 v5’s `select` and `csv` functions to fetch and parse the data, while the rendering is handled entirely through SVG elements created without scales or axes, leaving the raw data values to determine bar heights.
