This world map visualizes global city populations, with semi-transparent circles sized by population using a square-root scale. A Natural Earth projection draws the landmasses, graticule, and country borders via D3's `geoNaturalEarth1` and `geoPath`, while city coordinates are projected and rendered as SVG circles. The map loads geographic data from World Atlas TopoJSON and population data from a CSV, using `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` to construct the land and interior boundaries.
