I answer Consultation 52

False, AFO cannot be both a player and a faction.

Reasoning:

Rule 1-3 defines an External Force as "anything which exists independently of the game. That is, it would still exist if the game stopped existing, and would still exist if the game had never started existing.". Although the Agreement defining a Faction could exist outside of the game, A Faction needs to be an Agreement recognized by the game to be a Faction, and the very concept of Faction is something that is recognized, or not, in the game. A Faction needs to be an Agreement recognized by 
the game to be a Faction, and the very concept of Faction is something 
that is recognized, or not, in the game. As such, were, the game cease 
to exist, any Faction would cease to exist, as they are defined within 
the game. Here again, this disqualifies Factions for the status of 
External Force, and, as such, Factions can not be players.

Since Factions cannot be players, and AFO is recognized as a player, AFO 
cannot be a faction.
