A horizontal bar chart displays population counts for fictional countries, ranked from largest to smallest. Each bar’s length encodes the population value, with countries labeled on the y-axis and population numbers on the x-axis. Built with D3 v5, it uses `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to render SVG rectangles. Data is loaded from a CSV file and multiplied by 1000. The chart emphasizes clear, direct comparison of magnitudes across categories.
