This scatter plot displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, using 2018 data from the United Nations World Population Prospects. A linear scale maps population counts to horizontal positions, while a point scale arranges country names vertically. The code builds the SVG visualization with d3.scaleLinear, d3.scalePoint, d3.axisLeft, and d3.axisBottom, formatting tick labels with d3.format. Grid lines and custom axis labels enhance readability, and circles render the data points.
