This bar chart displays the population of the top ten most populous countries, using data from the World Population Prospects 2017. It encodes population on a linear scale and country names on a band scale, rendering horizontal bars with SVG. The visualization is built with D3 v7, using `d3.csv`, `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to load data and draw axes. Rectangles are appended to a grouped SVG element, with the x-axis positioned at the chart’s inner height.
