Proper names get capitalized. Generic names don't.

Federal Bureau of Sparkly Vampires
Department of Redundancy Department
Imperial Dogwalkers Consortium
The Sacred Order of Turnip Twaddlers
The Church of Saint Spock the Pointy-Eared
The United Provinces of Cumberbatch
the Hiddlestoners Rebellion
Judean People's Front (not to be confused with the People's Front of Judea)

but

the Cumberbatchian government
the rebels
cat lovers of the Empire
tautologists
those who twaddle turnips
hobbyist turnip-twaddlers
