This scatter plot visualizes the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, with each circle positioned along a categorical y-axis for country names and a linear x-axis for population values (in thousands). The chart uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` and `scalePoint` for axes, `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` for grid lines, and renders circles via SVG. Labels are formatted with `format('.3s')` to abbreviate large numbers. Data comes from a CSV file, loaded with `csv()`, and the visualization is drawn entirely in SVG.
