Black market scales with population (it's the total size of the black market in your nation, not per capita like most other economic scores), which means that it'll increase as your nation gets older, no matter what. A "black market per capita" score has been repeatedly requested, but the admins don't seem to consider it a priority.
Note that Economic Output also scales with population, but it does have a per capita equivalent, Average Income.
Pretty much the case, but somehow I have managed to tame the black market and have it at 120 billion despite my nation being ranked in the top 1% of economic output. My ratio of black market to total economy would be 0.00001978807 (or 0.001978807 or 0.00198 if rounded up). There are obviously many different factors when calculating the black market, and I'm not even sure what would be the best way to increase/decrease it consistently.
