    I'm quite certain it's a danish uniform. The uniform I wore when I served as a Guardsmen looks nearly identical. I could be wrong though, but it just looks remarkably similar.

Their task never has been, and never will be easy, because the two contrary elements, of which our existence and the nature of society is composed, demand the employment of different means. In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.
