This scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries using 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The visualization uses D3 v6 with SVG rendering to position circles along categorical y-axis points and a linear x-axis. It employs `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scalePoint`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.axisBottom` to create the chart, with population values formatted from thousands to billions using `d3.format`. Background grid lines extend from both axes, and the data is loaded asynchronously via `d3.csv`.
