This visualization presents a choropleth world map showing population counts by country, using a blue sequential color scale on an SVG-rendered Natural Earth projection. The code loads CSV population data and GeoJSON country boundaries, then applies d3.geoNaturalEarth1 and d3.geoPath to draw each nation. Countries without matching data appear in black. Population values are converted to numbers and mapped through d3.scaleQuantize with d3.schemeBlues[5] to encode magnitude visually across the geographic layout.
