This chart displays the top 10 most populous countries in 2020 as horizontal bars, sorted by population, without any axes or labels to indicate values. It uses React’s `useState` and `useEffect` hooks to fetch and process data from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2019 CSV file, then loads it with `d3.csv`. The SVG rendering maps each country’s population to a bar width using `d3.scaleLinear`, while `d3.scaleBand` positions the bars vertically. The visualization intentionally omits axes, making it a “pathetic” bar chart that prioritizes raw shape over quantitative precision.
