The Socialist Republic of Jedoria (Latvian: Jedorijas Sociālistiskā Republika) refers to Jedoria under the one-party communist rule that existed from 1954 to 2008. Brought to power by the Jedorian Revolution, the Socialist Republic superseded the Confederation of Jedoria, ruling until it's dissolution in 2008 following it's defeat in the Jedorian Civil War.

Following the conclusion of the Pan-Septentrion War, the Federation of Soviet Republics began funding of the nascent Communist Party of Jedoria, which began growing in power specifically in the states of Bessarabia and Arstotzka. By 1952 the Communist Party had begun organizing a nation-wide movement aimed at usurping the Confederation, which proved too fractured and weak to stomp out the Communists. By 1953 this broke out into open rebellion, beginning the Jedorian Revolution, which concluded in 1954 with the establishment of the Socialist Republic. The Communist Party became the sole political party allowed within Jedoria, which soon embarked on a massive number of political and socioeconomic reforms aimed at curtailing Jedoria into a communist country. These efforts were spearheaded by General Secretary Aleksis Kraulis, who became Jedoria's de facto dictator until his death in 1985. The Socialist Republic embarked on numerous public works projects focused on mass industrialization and construction of much needed infrastructure, which included the Jedorian highway network and the Luminovian Canal. Jedoria's economy grew rapidly during this time period, as did it's life expectancy, literacy rates, and educational opportunities. By 1965 Jedoria's economy was among the fastest growing in Casterra, and was among Septentrion's lead producers of coal, lumber, and natural gas. Jedoria's command economy produced large quantities of steel products, machinery, and chemicals, most of which were exported to other communist states.

The Socialist Republic's foreign policy however was defined by it's near constant border conflicts with it's neighbors, which frequently saw the Socialist Republic either at war or on the brink of war with some of the world's major powers. While some of these, such as the Vinyan War, were met with success and saw the capture of significant territory, others like the Jedorian-Kolodiyan Border War, saw the Socialist Republic fight their former supporters in the FSR. The most disastrous of these was the Jedorian-Mozrian War, which saw the Jedorians suffer a decisive defeat at the hands of the Able Vigil Accords. The cost of the war, coupled with Jedoria's growing status as an international pariah, led to a sharp decline in the Jedorian economy beginning in the 1990s, which continued on into the 21st century.

By 2002 the Socialist Republic had entered into a depression from which there was seemingly no recovery. Protests against the poor economic situation resulted in harsh government crackdowns against dissidents, which further inflamed tensions in the country. In 2004 the Jedorian Uprising began, sparking the Jedorian Civil War. After four years of conflict against the Combine Rebels the Socialist Republic was dissolved and replaced with the Federated Combine.
