It doesn't need to be solely what was achieved as forum diplomacy/stories, I'm fairly sure that for factions that are quite centered of combat (xenos, nomads, etc) and hostilities simply reporting successful raids and such would also be a good indicator that they've been doing things and playing their role. It's not a one size fits all sort of criteria, which hopefully would also mean it's less likely that people just grind it for the sake of grind too.
I personally don't understand why when you're applying for officialdom your ingame performance, gameplay attitude, roleplay and community's opinion is taken into account, but as soon as you earn the badge you're stripped to merely having to log on for 24 hours every month or so. Maybe it's also a good indicator of why often it happens that factions lose motivation as soon as they achieve officialdom as they no longer need to put effort.
