What is and should be the relationship of the individual to the nation-state according to Georg Hegel?

I can't do this question justice, but here goes nothin'. Hegel maintains that human freedom can only occur in relation to a state which acknowledges one's quasi-individuality. Thus a person must participate in the state and serve the state, but the state that one serves must work at least in part for the individual. That's all I got. Hope it helps.
