This visualization displays a world map using a Mercator projection rendered as SVG paths. Each country is drawn from TopoJSON data loaded via `d3.json` from the world-atlas package and converted to GeoJSON features with `topojson.feature`. The map uses `d3.geoMercator` and `d3.geoPath` to generate the country outlines, filling them with a teal color and white strokes. The code includes error logging to the console for data-loading failures.
