(Or "British Capitalisation of Acronyms for Organisations", if you prefer)
The Guardian and the BBC seem to write the abbreviation for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" as "Ice", rather than the "ICE" used in the US.   But they abbreviate "United States" as "US", not "Us".
What's the rule here?  Is "North American Treaty Organization" written as "Nato"?
