Spain?
I'm thinking maybe Spain. The shield is similar to the crest from Castile y Leon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castile_and_Le%C3%B3n
The kingdom of Spain also used a double-headed eagle that looks similar. Search double-headed eagle and Kingdom of Spain on Wikipedia.

It may well be a fantasy piece, but it is playing on a Habsburg theme because it has the Order of the Golden Fleece around the shield, which means either Austria or Spain. The colors on the shield are wrong, but the design of the shield is Spain, a three towered castle in quarters 1 and 4, and a lion rampant in 2 and 3.
