A world map displays population data for cities as scaled circles, with marker size proportional to population using a square-root scale. The visualization uses D3’s geoNaturalEarth1 projection, geoPath, and geoGraticule to render land masses, country borders, and graticules, while React manages state and renders SVG circles. City coordinates and populations come from a CSV file, with world geography from a TopoJSON dataset. Circles are semi-transparent blue, overlaid on gray land and sphere outlines.
