This visualization displays global population estimates for 2018 by placing semi-transparent blue circles at the geographic centroids of each country on a natural Earth projection. The map supports zooming and panning via d3.zoom, with a size legend showing population values scaled using d3.scaleSqrt. Data combines UN population CSV with TopoJSON world boundaries, processed using d3.csv, d3.json, and topojson.feature. The code uses d3.geoPath, d3.geoCentroid, and d3.geoNaturalEarth1, alongside SVG rendering to show the choropleth-like country fills and legend components.
