Countries of the World: Population

The source for the data is the CIA World Factbook, and the chart doesn't really offer much in the way of surprises. China, India, and the US remain the top 3 by a wide margin. But there have been significant movements up and down in the top 30. Note the rapid growth in the Congo in particular.
