A world map visualization displays cities as semi-transparent circles, with circle area proportional to each city’s population. The map uses the Natural Earth projection via D3’s `geoNaturalEarth1` and `geoPath`, rendering graticules, land masses, and interiors from TopoJSON data. City coordinates and populations come from a CSV file, and the D3 `scaleSqrt` function maps population values to a maximum radius of 20 pixels.
