It isn't quite that simple. Many countries that allow you to have dual citizenship don't allow you to take on a second citizenship without the risk of losing the other. Ex. The US allows dual citizenship, however, if you voluntarily apply for citizenship from another country you are at risk of losing your US citizenship. Also, part of the oath for acquiring US citizenship via naturalization is renouncing your previous citizenship.
