A hierarchical tree diagram shows the geographic organization of world countries, grouped by continent and subregion, with the root labeled "World" and leaves naming individual nations. The layout uses a horizontal tree where text size decreases with depth, and zoom and pan are enabled via the d3.zoom API. The code loads a JSON hierarchy with d3.json, applies d3.tree and d3.hierarchy for layout, and renders SVG paths and text with d3.linkHorizontal. Labels use Playfair Display font with white text shadows for readability.
