nation population
This bar chart displays the populations of the ten most populous countries in 2017, using a horizontal layout where each bar’s length corresponds to the population value from a CSV file. The visualization employs D3 v7 APIs such as `d3.csv`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.axisBottom`, rendering SVG rectangles with steelBlue fills. Data values are multiplied by 1000 and formatted with abbreviations like “B” for billions, while axis lines and tick marks are selectively removed for a cleaner presentation.
