how about giving the user the option, but with warnings for the newer players to avoid mistaken disclosure?
e.g. a radio button for each stat on your advisor page (edit: I mean once pasted into eestats), rounded as previously described, plus add a "5% randomise" button next to each to add a random variable on request. it could even be displayed as the advisor page with the interface buttons overlayed next to it.
it would have to be opt in for everything, but you could have a "recommended" button that shows just the minimum few outputs for each govt type/strat, with +/-5% randomisation on all stats under this heading by default.
this way you give complete user control but with some protection for new players built in. it is anonymised by rounding plus the randomisation factor on request.
might be too heavy on the setup for bore though ;)
also, still doesn't feel anonymous enough to me even with the rounding etc.
