This scatter plot displays the top 10 most populous countries, with each circle’s horizontal position representing population and vertical position listing the country name. The visualization uses d3.csv to load population data from a local CSV file, then d3.scaleLinear and d3.scalePoint for axes, with d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft rendering grid lines and labels. Circle radii are fixed at 18 pixels, and the population axis uses a custom tick formatter that converts values to abbreviated billions. The chart is rendered as SVG with steelblue circles, with margins and axis labels styled via CSS.
