I'm curious. What is the difference between relinquishing your US citizenship and renouncing it, in the eyes of the US government?

I ask because I, too, am considering renouncing my US citizenship once I get Cypriot citizenship (a few years down the road).

What is free? Relinquishing US citizenship? Please elaborate and cite the appropriate state dept. rules. Thanks
