This bar chart displays the 20 most populous countries, with populations from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2019 dataset. D3.js scales map country names to the y-axis and population values to the x-axis. React renders the SVG, with map methods generating axis ticks and labels. The chart uses `scaleBand` and `scaleLinear` from D3, and React's `useState` and `useEffect` for data loading and state management.
