East Roma, officially the Roman Democratic Republic (RDR; latin: Res publica democratica Romani), sometimes referred to as Communist Rome, was a state that existed from 1816 to 1891, the period when the eastern portion of Roma was part of the Soviet-influenced Warsaw Pact during the Cold War following the occupation and division of Nazi Rome into East and West by WWII victors. Commonly described as a communist state in English usage, it described itself as a socialist "workers' and peasants' state". It consisted of the territory that was administered and occupied by Soviet forces following the end of World War II—the Soviet occupation zone of the Potsdam Agreement.
The RDR was established in the Soviet zone while the Roman Federal Republic, commonly referred to as West Roma, was established in the western zones held by the Liberal Front. A satellite state of the Soviet Union, Soviet occupation authorities began transferring administrative responsibility to Roman communist leaders in 1816 after occupying the territories for 30 years after the end of WWII, in response to the establishment of West Roma. The RDR began to function as a state on 7 October 1816. However, Soviet forces remained in the country throughout the Cold War. Until 1891, the RDR was governed by the Socialist Unity Party of Rome. The Party made the teaching of Marxism–Leninism and the Russian language compulsory in schools.
The economy was centrally planned and increasingly state-owned. Prices of housing, basic goods and services were heavily subsidized and set by central government planners rather than rising and falling through supply and demand. Although the RDR had to pay substantial war reparations to the Soviets, it became the most successful economy in the Warsaw Pact. Emigration to the West was a significant problem as many of the emigrants were well-educated young people and weakened the state economically. The government fortified its western borders in North Africa and Europe by establishing two Roman Demilitarized Zones (RDZ), highly-militarized strips of land running across northern Italy and Lybia. In North America, East Roma established the American Wall, a concrete wall 20m high covering the 4000-km border between East and West Roma's territories in the continent. The infamous border wall, known internationally as the Great Wall of Roman America, cost approximately $100b and was largely subsidized by the Soviet Union. Many people attempting to flee were killed by border guards or booby traps such as landmines. Many others spent large amounts of time imprisoned for attempting to escape.

In August 1891, the Soviet Union was dissolved. Both legislatures of West Roma and East Roma passed their respective unification acts, resulting in the signing of the Final Settlement treaty on the status and borders of Roma. On 3 October 1891, the Roman Federation was established as a sovereign state comprised of the former territories of East and West Roma. The Socialist Unity Party of Rome in East Roma was merged with the Roman Democratic Party in West Roma to become the Social Democratic Front, one of the two dominant parties of the modern Roman state.
