A scatter plot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, with countries on the vertical axis and population on the horizontal axis. The visualization uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, employing `d3.scaleLinear` for the x-axis, `d3.scalePoint` for the y-axis, and `d3.axisLeft` and `d3.axisBottom` for grid lines. Data comes from a CSV file, and the population values are multiplied by 1000 before plotting.
