How to make Burnside's formula compatible with point counting for varieties over finite fields?

If $G$ is a finite group acting on a finite set $X$, we have Burnside's formula that counts the number of orbits $|X/G|$ as: $$ |X/G| = \frac1{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} |X^g|, $$ with $X^g$ being the set of ...
