This chart displays the populations of the most populous countries as a horizontal bar chart, using a linear scale for population and a band scale for country names. D3’s `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` are customized, with tick formatting via `format(".3s")` converting values to billions, and grid lines shown through `tickSize(-innerHeight)`. The data is loaded from a CSV file using `csv`, and rectangles are drawn in SVG with `scaleLinear` and `scaleBand`. The chart also includes a title and an axis label.
