This scatter plot displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries in 2018, using a categorical vertical axis for country names and a linear horizontal axis for population counts. Each circle’s position encodes the country’s population value, with a uniform radius for all points. The visualization is built with D3 v5, using `scaleLinear` and `scalePoint` for axes, and `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` to render ticks and grid lines. Data is loaded from a local CSV file and rendered as SVG circles.
