This scatter plot displays the population of eight countries in 2020, with countries on the y-axis and population values on the x-axis. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` and `scalePoint` to map the data, along with `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` for the labeled axes. Population figures are read from a CSV file and multiplied by 1000 before rendering as circles in an SVG. Axis tick labels are formatted using D3’s `format` function, and gridlines are drawn via tick sizes.
