Choropleth map with hover effect in d3.js

Steps:

First of all, see the background map section to understand the basics of mapping with d3, and the most basic choropleth map post.

Map shows the world population per country in 2005. Data comes from here, stored here

Each country is actually a path. Two functions are triggered when the mouse hover/leave the country: mouseOver and mouseLeave

Those two functions basically modify the opacity and the stroke of paths.

// Data and color scale
var data = d3.map();
var colorScale = d3.scaleThreshold()
