This horizontal bar chart displays population figures for ten countries, using data from a CSV file with populations scaled by a factor of one thousand. The visualization relies on D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` for the x-axis and `scaleBand` for the y-axis, with SVG rectangles representing each country’s value. Axes are generated via `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`, while tick labels are formatted using `format` to abbreviate numbers, and gridlines are styled through CSS. The chart includes custom axis titles and a chart title, all rendered as SVG elements.
