they are smallish, roughly 7" x 2.5" x 0.75", but in mine I carry comfortably four pens, a mechanical pencil, a brick eraser, and a case of pencil lead; could maybe get three more pens/pencils before it gets really tight in there

Gold nibs tend to be buttery smooth, and depending on the model both steel and gold nibs can also have some flexiness. But paper also plays a part in how the pen feels.

Some pens on some papers can be way too smooth like writing in glass.

Youre not. Your greatest inventions were literally stolen from germans and eastern europeans. Some of your most successful companies are stealing ideas left and right (see Apple literally copy pasting Braun designs). The only reasons the US are relevant is a) its natural resources b) its size c) the economic power in a global market that is created due to sheer size.
