This map visualization displays global population data for 2018 using proportional circles positioned at country centroids. The geographic context uses a Natural Earth projection rendered through d3.geoPath, with countries colored gray or brown depending on data availability. Circle radii scale with population via d3.scaleSqrt, and a legend explains the size encoding. The visualization supports pan and zoom through d3.zoom, with data loaded from CSV and TopoJSON files processed via d3.csv and topojson.feature. Hover tooltips show region names and formatted population values.
