Nor does
Australia. My sister and one of my brothers hold British Passports. My other brother and myself do not. As a matter of trivia, the British Consulate here actively advertised to Australian same-sex couples who might qualify for such so that, at the Consulate, they could then register their "civil partnership" officially under British law.

So if you're born in the UK and emigrate to Australia, you can still retain your British nationality (and passport) even after you become an Australian citizen. Does France permit its citizens to hold dual nationality?

"Dual citizenship has been permitted since 1973. The main exception has been concerning those countries which are signatories to the European Convention on Nationality."
The reference doesn't cite a source, though other Googling seems to affirm it (I'm sure it would be better sought in French, something beyond me).
