I answer Consultation 40 No.

Rule 5-1 explicitly allows Agreements that are not intended to comply
with B's rules to be accepted as valid; it would be outside the spirit
of the rules to require such agreements to be joined by a Game Action.

Indeed, 5-2's text definitely suggests that Agreements which are not
Factions are outside the game.  Both non-Faction Agreements and
Factions are bound solely by their own internal mechanisms for
deciding their membership and conducting any business that doesn't
directly involve game actions within B.
