I can tell you about my original government that I built around my hard magic system. Its users can only make new scripts once the magic system randomly chose them to become its new users. To evolve their powers and stay organized between peers, they have organized into guilds that claim populations as their tributaries in exchange for their service.

Normal citizens of a tributary, who are called 'villains', have many responsibilities to their guild, but they all share in the requirement to learn about the magic system, and to make the scripts that the guild wants them to so that they can join the guild and access its practical and magical resources. Guilds prefer a supplemental role in the government while always being too important to ever be separate from it, like a church or corporation, leaving the rest to the 'nobles' because direct leadership over the masses means taking on twice the responsibilities and accountability just for egotistical reasons. That doesn't mean that they don't have a say in all the important parts of the government like diplomacy or tax policy, they just know that villains are best left to manage themselves while they endlessly negotiate with the nobles and other guilds for wealth, scripts, and villains.

There used to be no escape from the power imbalances that create villainy, or the insignificance, servitude, or genocides that all come with it, until someone learned how to permanently destroy the limited sparks that empower binders. To save as many people as possible, as fast as possible, they're not just doing it to the binders that willingly destroy, they're also doing it to any other binders they find, even if they have to kill them first. The system of villainy is one where nobody matters, not even binders, which's why these fanatics accuse everyone else of being a "villain" for refusing to help them righteously bring a permanent end to the existence of binders.
