Sized Points on a Map
A world map displays cities with populations over 50,000, using circles sized by a square-root scale to represent population magnitude. The visualization employs a Natural Earth projection with graticules and country boundaries, rendered as SVG paths. City data comes from the Simplemaps World Cities Database, loaded via `d3.csv`, while country boundaries use TopoJSON from the World Atlas. The React app uses `d3.geoPath` for map geometry and `scaleSqrt` for circle radii, with semi-transparent teal circles overlaid on a light gray landmass.
