This horizontal bar chart displays the populations of ten countries, ordered by country name, with each bar’s length proportional to population in thousands. The visualization uses D3 v6’s `scaleLinear` for the x-axis, `scaleBand` for the y-axis categories, and renders via SVG within an HTML page. Data is loaded from a CSV file using D3’s `csv` function, and axes are generated with `axisLeft` and `axisBottom`. All bars are styled in a uniform steelblue color.
