Option 1: "I knew I should have made backups! Oh, whatever shall we do?", panics notoriously absent-minded Minister for Technological Affairs @@RANDOMNAME@@ while nervously roaming the room. "How about... Yes, an emergency census! @@LEADER@@, we must mobilize everything we have and prepare one right now - our own identity depends on it!"
Effect: the updated national database shows an inexplicable surge in John Smiths
Option 2: "@@LEADER@@, with this data loss, there is a 5% chance this @@MAN@@ is just an imposter, so listen to me instead", @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, one of your senior advisors, sporting a brand new mustache, states calmly. "Why waste the populace's money on a program they aren't exactly fond of when you have a whole private sector willing to pay?

Option 3: "The populace isn't fond of the ID Chips...", your Minister of Truth @@RANDOMNAME@@ ponders from @@HIS@@ dark corner. "And that's why they're going to cause you trouble over this incident, regardless of what you do - that is, if they were to even know about the incident.

I as well, probably."
Effect: clothiers are making a fortune off rising demand for dark suits
Option 4: "Preposterous!", spits @@RANDOMNAME@@, whose curiously named bestseller "The Government, Your Data and Why They Should Be Kept Apart" recently made @@HIM@@ the most popular Minister for Family Affairs in years. "Won't you all realize that this whole ID Chip thing bears no fruit but financial loss and popular resentment? It's a total waste of anyone's resources, and an absolute impudence before the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ people. @@LEADER@@, get rid of the program, and soon you'll be as popular as me! ...At least almost."
Effect: the black market has been flooded with suspiciously sticky microchips
