"Estados Unidos" is abbreviated as "EEUU" (also: EE. UU.) because in
Spanish the abbreviation for a plural item doubles the letter of the
abbreviation. The same is done, for example, with the abbreviation for
"Fuerzas Armadas" (= Armed Forces), which is "FF. AA.", indicating
that the abbreviation relates to a plural term.
The English language knows this custom too, albeit in a few cases
only. For instance, the abbreviation for "page" in singular is "p.",
while "pages" in plural are abbreviated as "pp.".
Sometimes, however, the abbreviation "EUA" (Estados Unidos de America)
for the United States is indeed used in Spanish, but not often.

But the practice is quite prevalent in Spanish society. When you're studying for your driving license here you have to know that FFCC means ferrocarriles because it appears on signs.Therefore, when Spanish speakers go to abbreviate Estados Unidos, they have to use two E's and two U's, resulting in EEUU. This is not to be confused with the European Union, which, since adjectives follow the nouns they modify in romantic languages, is abbreviated UE.
