This interactive world map visualizes country boundaries using light green landmasses against a sky blue ocean. The visualization employs an equirectangular projection, rendered via SVG paths generated with `d3.geoPath`. Users can zoom and pan the map using the `d3.zoom` and `d3.event` APIs. The geographic data originates from the `world-atlas` TopoJSON file, which is converted to GeoJSON features using the `topojson.feature` function. Countries highlight in maroon when hovered, based on CSS styling.
