This example demonstrates how to create a world map using D3.js, rendering countries as SVG paths filled with light green and a blue sphere as the globe backdrop. It employs the `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` projection and `d3.geoPath` to generate geographic shapes, while loading TopoJSON data from the world-atlas package and converting it to GeoJSON via `topojson.feature`. The map is drawn on a static 960×500 SVG canvas without interactivity.
