This bar chart displays the 2018 populations of the eleven most populous countries, using a horizontal layout where bar length corresponds to population size. The visualization uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, employing `scaleLinear` for the x-axis and `scaleBand` for categorical country labels. Population values from the CSV are read via `d3.csv` and multiplied by 1000 to reflect actual figures. The chart includes a left axis generated with `axisLeft` and data sourced from World Population Review.
