This visualization displays a world map with cities and countries, using proportional symbols to encode population data. City locations are shown as circles, with their radius scaled according to population, while countries are shaded with an opacity value that reflects their total population, using data from the UN Population 2019 dataset. The map is rendered using D3.js geo projections with a Natural Earth projection, and the `d3.geoPath` API draws the geographic features. Country boundaries come from the World Atlas TopoJSON, and the city data is sourced from Simplemaps, with the entire scene rendered as an SVG.
