Forked from Using Size

This visualization displays the global distribution of migrants who have died or gone missing, mapped as circles positioned by geographic coordinates and sized proportionally to the reported total dead and missing. The map uses a Natural Earth projection, with country boundaries, graticules, and landmasses rendered as SVG paths. Data comes from the Missing Migrants Project, while the world map and interiors are built from the World Atlas TopoJSON. The React app loads the data and topology using the D3 `csv` and `json` functions, and the circle sizes are scaled using D3's square-root scale, all rendered through SVG.
