This stylized bar chart displays the top 15 most populous countries for the year 2020, using horizontal bars ordered by rank. The visualization uses D3 v5 APIs including `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom`, with an SVG rendering approach. Population data comes from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2019, loaded as a CSV. The chart omits the left axis labels and applies a black fill to all bars, creating a minimalist aesthetic.
