This visualization displays global population data for 2018, using a natural Earth projection with circles sized by population at each country’s centroid. Countries with missing data appear in light red, while mapped regions are gray and populating circles use a teal fill. The map supports zooming via d3.zoom, and the code employs d3.geoPath for rendering country boundaries, d3.scaleSqrt for circle sizing, and d3.scaleOrdinal with a spectral scheme for the color legend. Data comes from a CSV file joined to TopoJSON world geometries, with both size and color legends implemented as reusable D3 modules.
