Not particularly? You only have to do that if you become a naturalized citizen for that, and a lot of countries [including the US] have it so that if you become a naturalized citizen of another country you automatically forfeit your prior citizenship in that country. So, in a lot of cases, it's a termination of the former citizenship on both ends.

It also makes sense, since one of the biggest things countries that allow dual citizenship don't like about DC is the fact that it can, and in the past has, lead to some pretty serious conflicts of interest in terms of loyalty and the fact that the person with the DC is subject to the laws of both countries. So, by effectively making DC impossible, they completely side step the issues that come with that. [There are benefits to DC, which is why so many countries allow it, and the issues aren't that common, but they can still cause enough headaches that governments tend to not endorse them/encourage choosing citizenship in one country or the other.]

Japan is elitest in a lot of ways, but this isn't really one of them.

You don't have to forfeit your US citizenship when you become a naturalised citizen of another country. My mother was born in the US and now lives in New Zealand. She has dual citizenship. I was born in New Zealand to her and a New Zealand father and haven't ever lived in the US (just visited). I also have dual citizenship. Apparently Americans sometimes told people they had to forfeit their citizenship when they really didn't have to.

Dual citizenship and being a naturalized citizen aren't the same thing.

Yeah, they have different meanings, but my mother became a naturalised citizen of NZ and was still a US citizen meaning she has dual citizenship.

Wikipedia has a some information on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_nationality_law#Loss_of_citizenship
