A scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, with each country represented by a circle positioned along a linear scale for population and a point scale for country names. The visualization uses D3 v5 APIs including `scaleLinear`, `scalePoint`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom`, rendering as SVG. Population values from the CSV are multiplied by 1,000, and the x-axis tick labels format large numbers using D3's `format` function. Grid lines extend across the chart via tick sizes, while axis labels and a title annotate the plot.
