world map w/ cities & countries pop!
A world map depicts countries with their population encoded in color opacity, alongside cities sized by population via a square-root scale. A graticule and geographic lines overlay the landmasses. The visualization uses React to render SVG marks with D3’s `geoNaturalEarth1` projection and `geoPath`, integrating country boundaries from the world-atlas TopoJSON and city data from the Simplemaps World Cities Database. Country population data from the UN Population 2019 CSV is joined onto the TopoJSON features, with no-data countries displayed uniformly.
