This chart displays the total population of the ten most populous countries in 2024, using horizontal bars ordered from largest to smallest. The visualization is built with D3 v7, where `scaleBand` positions the country categories on the y-axis and `scaleLinear` maps population values to bar heights. Data comes from the UN population estimates dataset, filtered to countries only and sorted using `descending`. The chart includes axis labels, a gray background rectangle, and rounded bar dimensions defined through configurable margins and gaps.
