This bar chart displays the population of ten countries in the year 2000, sorted by country name along the vertical axis. The visualization uses React with D3 v5 to render an SVG, employing `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis and `scaleLinear` for the numeric x-axis. Population values are loaded from a remote CSV file and formatted using D3’s `format` function, converting large numbers to abbreviated labels. The bars are colored solid blue, with axis ticks rendered in a contrasting red.
