This scatter plot displays the top 10 most populous countries using population data from the World Population Prospects, with each country positioned along a linear population scale and an ordinal point scale for country names. The visualization uses D3 v6’s `scaleLinear`, `scalePoint`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to render SVG circles and gridlines, formatting population values in billions via `format('.3s')`. Data is loaded from a CSV file and multiplied by 1000, with axes and labels styled through external CSS.
