This stylized bar chart ranks the ten most populous countries, using horizontal bars to compare population counts. Built with React and rendered as SVG, it employs D3's `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis and `scaleLinear` for the population x-axis. Axes, marks, and labels are composed from reusable components, with data sourced from the UN’s 2019 World Population Prospects. The chart omits gridlines on the left, using light tick marks and Poppins typography for a clean, modern aesthetic.
