About this template
Data: one row per country with its ISO code (two-letter DE or three-letter DEU) or its English name, and a number. A country with no row stays grey. The twelve sovereign states of South America; French Guiana is not a country and stays grey. Same design as the other world and continent maps.
A choropleth map of the regions of the "south-america-countries" geography, each region filled by one number from your data (the "population" column). The view is cropped to longitude -82–-34 and latitude -56–13.
A sequential colour scale from pale blue for the smallest values to deep navy blue for the largest; pinned to 1000000 to 100000000, so values beyond the ends take the end colour and the colour bar says ≤ and ≥; a gradient colour bar below the map, with its labels underneath; values formatted in compact form (1.2k, 3.4M), 1 decimal; on a white canvas (#ffffff) with near-black text — a light theme; 0.5-unit hairline outlines between regions.
The title and description are left-aligned above the chart. Font: Inter (the default); a source line with a link sits at the bottom, with the chartlink badge in the corner.
Data: 2 columns — country (string, "Country (ISO alpha-2 or alpha-3 code, or name)"), population (number, "Population, 2023") — and 12 rows in the example "Population of South America's countries, 2023". Regions are named by ISO 3166-2 region codes or region names; a region with no row stays unfilled in grey, and an unknown code fails loudly with the nearest matches. Your data keeps the same column ids and every other setting comes from the template; an agent can change any of them.
