A horizontal bar chart ranks ten countries by population using data from a CSV file, with population values converted from thousands to absolute numbers. The visualization uses D3 v5 scales (`scaleLinear` and `scaleBand`) to map data to SVG rectangles, with `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` generating the country labels and population axis. The chart displays population values as bar lengths, styled with steelblue fills, within an SVG canvas of 960 by 500 pixels.
